SUBJECT: Correspondence relative to Item #15, Consider various actions associated with QP16-19, the State Route 168/Enterprise Canal Pedestrian Bridge Project, east of Temperance Avenue and south of Owens Mountain Parkway.
Mayor and Members of the City Council:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on your consideration of this item. i wish to express my support of staffs recommendation for Option #3 under the present circumstances. The work so for completed on this project provides a basis for future consideration of a bicycle/pedestrian bridge without committing additional City resources until a solid construction funding source can be identified.
That being said, the goal of a through-connection of the Enterprise Trail should continue to remain a high priority for a variety of reasons.
• Completion of this portion of trail will greatly assist in connecting Loma Vista to the remainder of the City with a Class i facility and provide a major enhancement to the major trail network. • The Enterprise Trail is one of the few trail segments that can provide true active work commute transportation facilities to a significant employment center; the Clovis Community Hospital campus and the Gateway Business area.
• A connection will provide a vital and healthy link between the hospital development and services such as restaurants, hotels, shopping and recreational facilities without requiring the use of automobiles. • While located in the northeast area of Ciovis, it should be viewed and will serve as a regional facility, connecting Class I trail improvements in the Ciovis/Fresno metropolitan area and not Just catering to the recreational needs of the northeast area.
• Most Importantly, a safe alternate means for bicyclists and pedestrians crossing State Route 168 without using the Temperance Avenue undercrossing and thus negotiating the unrestricted west bound 168 freeway ramp should be sought.
I would hope that this current challenge would not dampen the Cit/s desire for further trail development and its resulting positive impact on the community and the metropolitan area. In the interim period there are a number of other opportunities that can be pursued for much needed trail development including the underserved south and southwest areas.
Thank you for your consideration of this correspondence.
Resj^ctfully,
